The compounds of Formula 6 are prepared by reacting a dicarboxylic acid chloride or bromide with the appropriate monohydric alcohol within Formula 1. If two moles of the alcohol are employed per mole of the dicarboxylic acid halide then a his ester is formed; with equimolar amounts of alcohol and dicarboxylic acid halide there is formed a half ester.

METHODS OF PREPARATION (I) Alcohols (A) The saturated halo-disulfide alcohols of Formula 1 are prepared generally by the dropwise addition of the chosen saturated sulfenyl halide in equimolar amounts to the appropriate mercapto-alcohol in an inert solvent. Such solvents include halohydrocarbons such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and tetrachloroethane and hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, hexane, cyclohexane, petroleum ether, and aromatic naphtha. The reaction temperature in the examples below was 25-30 14 C. which temperature was maintained by cooling with an ice-water bath completion of the reaction was determined by a negative reaction to KI-starch test paper. Isolation was accomplished by 'washing the reaction mixture with water drying and vacuum stripping.

(B) The unsaturated halo disulfide alcohols within Formula 1 were prepared by dehydrohalogenation of the saturated halo-disulfide alcohols with equivalent amounts of sodium ethoxide. In place of sodium ethoxide there can be used potassium ethoxide and other alcoholates having up to three carbon atoms, e.g. sodium methylate, sodium propylate, sodium isopropylate, potassium propylate. The reaction temperature was maintained at 25-30 C. through cooling with an ice-water bath. Dilution with water furnished the products as bottom oils.

(II) Carbonates, thiol carbonates, dithiocarbonates The poly halo disulfide carbonates, thiol carbonates and dithiocarbonates within Formulae 2 and 3 were prepared by three routes:

(A) By the reaction of the polyhalo disulfide alcohol of Formula 1 with the chosen chloroformate, e.g. alkyl or aryl chloroformate. The alcohol and chosen chloroformate were mixed together and heated at a temperature between 85 and 120 C. (This temperature range can be varied if desired.) Reaction times normally in the order of several hours and the reaction was completed on the disappearance of the hydroxyl absorption in the infrared spectrum analysis.

(B) By the reaction of a polyhalo disulfide chloroformateof Formula 5 and a chosen alcohol (e.g. alkyl or aryl alcohol) or mercaptan under the same general condition as described in II(A). In this reaction it was also observed that there was a shift to a lower frequency by the C=O in the infrared spectrum of the formed carbonate. In some instances a tertiary base was used to force the reaction. Such tertiary bases include trialkyl amines such as trimethyl amine, triethyl amine, tripropyl amine, and triamyl amine, pyridine, dimethyl aniline, diethyl aniline (and other tertiary aromatic amines) quinoline, a-picoline, fl-picoline, lutidine.

(C) By the reaction of a chosen polyhalo sulfenyl chloride with an appropriate mercapto carbonate under the same conditions as described in I(A).

(I-II) Carbamates The polyhalo disulfide carbamates of Formula 4 were prepared by three routes:

(A) By reaction of the'chosen polyhalo disulfide alcohol of Formula 1 with an appropriate organic isocyanate (or isothiocyanate), e..g. an alkyl or aryl isocyanate. The reagents were mixed and heated to to 110 C. (This temperature can be varied somewhat if desired.) The progress of the reaction was observed periodic infrared scans -It was complete upon the disappearance of both the OH and N=C=O absorption.

(B) By the reaction of a polyhalo disulfide alcohol With an appropriate carbamoyl chloride. The two reactants were mixed and warmed at 80 to C. until the reaction was complete.

(C) By the reaction of a polyhalo disulfide chloroformate of Formula 5 with a primary or secondary amine. Two equivalents of the amine were added dropwise at 2530 C. to one equivalent of the chloroformate to furnish the product in a quantitative yield.

(IV) Esters The esters of Formula 2 (other than carbonates, thiolcarbonates and dithiocarbonates) and Formula 6 were formed by reacting the polyhalo disulfide alcohol of Formula 1 with an appropriate acyl chloride, e.g. an alkyl chloride or aryl chloride in an inert solvent at 30 to 80 C. Suitable solvents include hydrocarbons and halohydrooarbons such as those set forth in Method I(A). The alcohol and acyl chloride are used in equimolar amounts except that when employing the acyl chlorides 15 of dibasic acids there were used two moles of alcohol per mole of acyl halide to form the diester V. The polyhalo disulfide chloroformates of Formula 5 were prepared by two routes:

(A) By allowing a mixture of the chosen halo disulfide alcohol of Formula 1 and either phosgene or thiophosgene to stand at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, in an inert solvent (such as those set forth in Method I(A)), for several days until an infrared analysis shows the disappearance of the OH absorption and appearance of the ll 0-C-Cl absorption.

(B) By heating the same mixture as in V(A) in a sealed tube at 8590 C. for several hours. The degree of completeness of the reaction was determined by infrared analysis.

For example, the compounds of the present invention can be applied to soil, growing plants, e.g., trees, cotton plants, wheat and other grain plants, vegetable plants, seeds, fabrics, etc., to give pesticidal protection or can be applied to mature cotton beans, tomatoes, or other leafy plants to give defoliation or desiccant action.

The biological testing results are compiled in the following tables. In Tables 1, 2, 3,, 7 and 8 a -10 scale is employed with 0 indicating no inhibition and indicating complete inhibtion. In Table 4 and the saprophytic nematode portion of Table 9 the tabulation is expressed as percent non-motility after a 4 day incubation period. The blank no motility rate was 10%. In Tables 4, 10, 11, 12 and in the desiccation part of Tables 6 and 13, the 0-10 scale described above was employed while the defoliation data in Tables 6 and 13 is given as actual percent defoliation. In the parasitic nematode part of Table 9 the severity 24 of root knots on tomato plants planted in soil infested with Meloidogyne spp. is indicated on a 0-10 scale where 0 indicates severe knotting and 10 indicates freedom from knots.

In the table the following abbreviations are used:

ULMI-Ceratocystis ulmi PYPythium= irregulare PhPhyt0t0xic P.p.m.-Parts per million #/A--Pounds per acre In Tables 1 and 7 potato dextrose agar was used in the agar plate tests.

In Table 2 the spore germination tests were carried out with Alternaria spp. and Ustilago and the foilage fungicide tests with Collectotrichum obz'culare.

The spore germination tests were carried out as follows. A 1% suspension of the compound to be tested in water was prepared and there was also prepared a solution of agar in the water. The suspension was appropriately diluted with water and mixed with the agar solution to give the indicated concentrations of compounds in p.p.m. 0.3 ml. of the agar material was placed on a microscope slide and a film allowed to form and solidify. Spores of Alternaria or Ustilago were dusted on the slides and they were placed in Petri dishes with filter paper and incubated at room temperature for 24 hours and the non germinated spores registered, 10 indicating non germination in Table 2.

The foilage fungicide tests were carried out with COL infested cucumber leaves.

The soil fungicide tests in Table 3 were carried out with an equal weight of the test compound and attapulgus clay. The mixture was blended with soil infested with indicated organism and allowed to stand for 24 hours. Then the blend was spread evenly over a wet paper towel and 50 pea seeds Were placed on the soil. The towels were rolled up and put in metal cans and stored at 40 F. for five days and then at 75 F. for four days. The cans were then removed and the rate of fungus growth recorded, with 10 indicating no growth.

In Table 4 and the saprophytic portion of Table 9 the compounds were tested as nematocides using water as the 1 medium with Panagrellus and Rhabditis spp. at room temperature. The less active compounds require rates above the 400 p.p.m. maximum used in Table 9.

Many of the compounds also are useful as nematocides against parasitic nematodes such as Meloidogyne spp. as shown in Table 9 as well as against other root knot nematodes. Rates above 200 p.p.m. are required for the less active compounds.

As shown in Tables 5, 10 and 12 and the compounds exhibited some post emergent herbicide activity. While many of the compounds did not exhibit any significant preemergent herbicide activity several of the compounds showed excellent preemergent herbicide activity. 1,2,2-trichloroethyldithioethyl-2'-methyl-4'-chlorophenoxy acetate was an outstanding preemergent herbicide.

The compounds were tested as .defoliants and desiccants for cotton as shown in Tables 6 and 13. The compounds were applied as a 2% solution in acetone at the indicated rates per acre of cotton plants.

As can be seen from Table 3, many of the compounds were extremely effective soil fungicides even at the lowest test rates. Because of the effectiveness of the compounds in the primary soil fungicide test in Table 8 some of the compounds were subjected to a secondary soil fungicide screening.
